To get the current date and time as output using a shell script in Linux, you can use the date
command. Here's an example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
#!/bin/bash current_date=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d") current_time=$(date +"%H:%M:%S") echo "Current date: $current_date" echo "Current time: $current_time" |
In this example, the date
command is used with the format specifier %Y-%m-%d
to get the current date in YYYY-MM-DD
format, and %H:%M:%S
to get the current time in HH:MM:SS
format. The output is then saved into variables current_date
and current_time
, and displayed using echo
statements.
You can run the script by saving it to a .sh
file (e.g., datetime.sh
), making it executable (chmod +x datetime.sh
), and then executing it (./datetime.sh
).
